After buying five stalks of Green Yuan Grass, I still have five thousand gold left. At that time, if I don't have enough elixirs, I can still go out and buy more. Right now, I can't always rely on my father's help like I did in the past. Lingyun, who had just walked out of the storage shop, checked his remaining silver and made his next preparations.

However, just as he put the Green Essence Grass back into his bosom, Lingyun's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly squatted down.

After Ling Yunfan inexplicably squatted down, a tall man flew over his head with a flying kick from behind.

"Oh?"

After seeing that his attack was evaded, the man that launched the attack also let out a somewhat surprised voice.

After dodging the attack, Lingyun immediately stood up, and looked at the person that fell in front of him.

Looking around, he saw a youth who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a light blue robe and having an extremely similar appearance to Ling Jie before, looking at him expressionlessly from the front.

"I was wondering who would suddenly attack me, so it was Ling Xuan. What, he's hit the small one now, is he big?" After recognizing his opponent, Ling Yun Fan's relaxed expression slowly turned into a serious one as he spoke.

After listening to Ling Yun Fan's words, Ling Xuan, who was standing not too far away, said meaningfully: "To be able to sense my approach, and also immediately react to dodge my attack, it seems like the rumors are true. But don't worry, even if you teach that stupid little brother of mine a lesson, I still don't plan on doing anything to you."

"Really? Then what was the meaning behind your sneak attack?" Just to see if the rumors are true? " Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan could not help but ask curiously.

Hearing Ling Yun Fan's question, Ling Xuan also replied: "Pretty much, but aside from that, I still hope that you can spar with me once. Although I say that we'll meet in the Family Competition in a month, I can't help but want to see your current strength."

Finished speaking, Ling Xuan's eyes quickly turned serious. He clenched his hands into fists, as traces of a faintly discernible flow of air appeared within his body.

Initially, he had thought that the other party was only here to see if he would really grow. However, the following words directly caused him to have no choice but to fight with Ling Xuan, who was at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm, while he, Ling Yun Fan, was only at the sixth level of the Refinement Realm. Even with the help of the bloodline power in his body, he would not be able to fight against Ling Xuan.

"I'm here!"

When the two of them were ready to fight, Ling Xuan had left behind a message. He wanted to gain the initiative by sending the air current into his right fist, and then quickly charge towards Ling Yunfan.

Ling Yunfan, who was standing in his original spot, looked at the other party's ferocious aura and similarly channeled all of his energy into his fist. He faced the other party head on, intending to meet him head on.

Bang!

"Ahh!"

When the two fists collided, the weaker Ling Yunfan was sent flying with a miserable scream.

Ta.

However, Ling Yunfan, who was sent flying, quickly tidied himself up and landed on the ground. Furthermore, he looked harmless as he stood up.

After that, standing up, Ling Yun Fan looked at the smiling Ling Xuan as well as the fist in his left hand which was actually somewhat fractured, and could not help but exclaim in his heart: "As expected of one of the strongest members of the Ling Family's young generation, his strength is really strong. That lax attack just now was able to easily defeat me.

"Not bad. I hope you can become even stronger in the family competition. It would be best if you could be my opponent. Otherwise, I don't want to fight with a woman. That would be boring." Seeing that Ling Yun Fan wasn't injured, Ling Xuan only left a few words before leaving.

Watching Ling Xuan leave, Ling Yunfan also furrowed his brows, tightly clenching his fists and thinking to himself, "I must make use of this time to cultivate. Ling Xuan must be the biggest threat to me in the Large Family Competition, and after a month, I must defeat him. Otherwise, I will not be able to survive for two years and will implicate the family."

After making his decision, Ling Yunfan headed straight for his father's residence without looking back.

"..."

Lingyun Fan returned to his father's house. He could not find anyone else but a book called the Flame Fist technique and a piece of white paper. He helplessly shook his head, put away the martial skill manual, and picked up the piece of paper to read.

"So father was going to go into seclusion, so he used this method to tell me that he has already regained his status as the young master of the Ling family." After reading the contents of the paper, Yun Fan returned it to its original position with a smile on his face and wrote an envelope.

After exiting the Ling Residence, he headed straight to the street where Ling Yun spent one hundred taels of silver to purchase some rations before heading straight to the weapons shop.

"Yo, esteemed customer, what would young master Yun Fan like to buy?" Just as Ling Yunfan entered the store, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked out from behind the counter and said with an apologetic smile.

Lingyun was not used to the other party's warm treatment. After all, in the past, other than his father and Ling Hong, everyone else was disdainful of talking to him. He then replied indifferently: "I want to see if there are any weapons I can use here, but I still haven't found one. I wonder if shopkeeper can give me some recommendations?"

"Of course, please wait a moment." Hearing that, the shopkeeper immediately entered a room at the back.

After seeing the opponent enter, Lingyun also started to test out all the weapons that seemed to be casually placed in the surroundings. Among them, he tried out the pikes, greatswords, daggers, and long blades.

"I've made you wait for a long time. Young Master Yun Fan, how about you take a look at these two weapons?" Just then, the shopkeeper's voice came from behind Ling Yunfan.

After hearing the voice, Lingyun turned around to look and saw a scarlet and white striped large blade on the counter. There was a white blade with a blue pattern on the edge of the sword, like a crystal block of ice.

Just as he was getting closer, Lingyun was attracted by the sword, and was very interested in it. Not only that, the sword seemed to be emitting a special luster, but it was a kind of degree that could not be detected unless one observed carefully.

Because of this, Lingyun picked it up and waved it a few times. He discovered that every slash would release enough cold air to freeze a normal body. If it was a martial artist that was hit by the cold air, it would also be extremely painful.

Afterwards, he also put the sword back into its scabbard and directly asked: "What's the name of this sword? I'll take it."

This sword is called the Cold Water Sword, it's a high-grade treasure, but because of the damage, it should be at the intermediate level. But even so, it's still priced at three hundred thousand silver taels. Seeing that Ling Yun Fan was staring at the sword he had taken out, the shopkeeper immediately revealed a bright smile.

"300,000 silver is really a sky-high price. However, I still want it. I'll sign the credit. After next month, I'll come and pay it off." Hearing the price of the Coldwater Sword, Lingyun's face turned green. To him, 300,000 silver was a sky-high price. Even his father would not be able to use it without any hesitation. Furthermore, he did not have much money left.

Although the price was very expensive, after knowing that it could be bought on credit, he didn't hesitate to buy the Coldwater Sword.

After that, Lingyun also signed the contract that the shopkeeper took out, and carried on his cultivation with the Cold Water Sword towards the depths of the mountains that he used to frequent.
